Is God Fair?
By Warren Mueller
When a child dies of cancer, a home is destroyed by a tornado or one neighbor is laid off while another is promoted, I sometimes hear people say, “It’s not fair.” Some people live long lives and are wealthy while others live short lives in poverty. Some are taller, more attractive, talented, stronger, etc. It doesn’t seem fair when the son of a vice president of a company is hired and promoted before others. We have all experienced things in our lives that do not seem fair. It’s true that life is not fair but does this mean God is not fair?
Omnipotent
By Richard Wines
What does it mean to be omnipotent? I call God omnipotent, but do I know what omnipotence means? The dictionary defines omnipotence as “almighty or infinite in power.” So how can the finite understand the infinite? I can’t, but that doesn’t keep me from trying.
A Few Thoughts After The 4TH
By Ed Crumley
Once again we are at a time in our country where serious thought needs to be given as to where we are and where we need to go from here.Even though our country was never completely Christian, it once had a Christian consensus. It was a cultural agreement to live by certain standards that were spelled out in a handbook for living called the Bible. Our culture began changing a few decades ago when a new spirit, a new way of thinking, entered our land.
A Time to Live
By Bob Kaku
During the waning days of World War II, there lived a young girl in Kokura, a city on the island of Kyushu in southwestern Japan. B-29s rumbled overhead, dropping bombs in her neighborhood. In one particular raid, explosives ripped holes into the street right in front of her house. Little did she know that Kokura was singled out for an even more horrific weapon. It was the primary target for the world’s second atomic bomb because of a large ammunition arsenal located there.
The Passion of Christ
By Warren Mueller
What is the passion of Christ? Many would say it is the period of intense suffering in the life of Jesus from the Garden of Gethsemane to the crucifixion. To others the passion of Christ evokes images of gruesome punishment depicted in movies such as Mel Gibson’s “The Passion.” Certainly these views are correct but I have discovered that there is much more than this to the passion of Christ.
